Lyrics:

I guess you didn't hear me
When I told you for the first time
Well, don't you worry
It won't be the last
All I need, a floorboard
An' a wooden shoe
Step aside an' let my lady thro'
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Up an' back around
See the high priest
He took my place
When the judge looks to me
He saw his son's face
Not gonna join you in
Your tower of babble, boy
Tired of that talkin'
I'm sick of that noise
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Low we lay them down
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Covering ground

I'm not alone
An' looks can be deceiving
When we get down to it
You're talking when you
Should be leaving
I've been to Nebraska
It reminded me of Spain
All the questions loaded
All my answers same
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Low we lay them down
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Covering ground
Let us not mince our words
Let's say it true this time
I need your forgiveness
Just like you need mine
Tell me how it is that
You don't want what he's givin'
It ain't no sin, son
To be forgiven
Hay-foot, straw-foot
Low we lay them down
Hay-foot, straw-foot
All over town
